Chapter 519: Chapter 518 Fire King Li He

"Starlight sprites?"

Her words aroused the attention of a few people, who all turned their gaze toward Li Yiren.

To avoid disturbing others, Li Yiren explained in a low voice, "Starlight sprites are a type of harmless mutant creatures that like to gather together. They appear like twinkling stars, hence their name."

"The origins of these mutant creatures are unknown, and they are quite rare. Most starlight sprites are only seen in laboratories. Some researchers believe that they possess a completely new attribute, but unfortunately these creatures don’t have any skills or the ability to release energy, so the related research has not made much progress."

"Later on, most people thought that their ability to glow was due to a special luminescent substance they contained, rather than having Elemental Energy."

Shao Zifeng gave Li Yiren another look, the woman who aspired to become a Pet Beast Psychologist was quite articulate in describing such a rare type of mutant creature.

The corner of his eye caught the blue light dots spinning, and a pale blue screen slowly opened up.

[Description]: Legend has it that when meteors fall to the earth, they scatter these little sprites around the impact site. Their thoughts are pure and simple; they enjoy beautiful things, and drifting together with their companions is their happiest moment.

Star attribute, huh.

Just a while ago, Chen Yixin had mentioned to him that the paper on star attribute was already written. She and Shao Zifeng were co-first authors, but unfortunately it could not be published yet due to that incident in Bin City.

Actually, Shao Zifeng wasn’t too concerned about it, but Chen Yixin disagreed.

Just then, from amidst the myriad twinkling lights, a small orb of light wobbled its way over.

It circled around Shao Zifeng curiously before floating to his face, where its ribbon-like little feet wiggled in the air without any wind, gently touching his nose.

In this instant, everyone held their breath, not wanting to startle the sprite-like creature.

Shao Zifeng looked into the round eyes of the starlight sprite and gently extended his right hand.

The little guy blinked its eyes, obediently landed on his hand, its two drifty feet swaying back and forth as if it was kicking its tiny feet.

"How adorable."

Li Yiren pushed Li Yiming aside, staring at the starlight sprite in Shao Zifeng’s hand, her eyes seemingly shining with light.

"Go on, play."

After watching for a while, Shao Zifeng spoke softly to the Star Spirit.

"mi~"

The Star Spirit affectionately rubbed against his hand, making Shao Zifeng’s tough heart almost melt. Then the little guy gently floated up, waved its streaming ribbon at him, and quickly blended into the starry sky above.

The two women in the team watched the little guy disappear with disappointed expressions on their faces.

"It seems that classmate Shao really is popular with mutant creatures," Yu Xiaoyu said enviously.

"Yeah," Li Yiren took over the conversation, "It feels like Big Brother Shao treats mutant creatures better than he treats people."

The Mirage Cat’s ears twitched, for it had the most say on this topic. But after sneaking a glance at Shao Zifeng, its raised tail drooped again.

Shao Zifeng didn’t respond, simply glanced at the time and said, "Teacher Xiaoyu, let’s enter the arena."

The Central Venue is the largest indoor sports and entertainment professional venue in the capital and the whole of Daxia, often used as the site for large-scale celebrations and competitions. Because the lights weren’t on, it was hard to see clearly, but according to official data, the Central Venue could accommodate up to a hundred thousand people in the stands.

The stands were divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower. All competing schools were arranged on the first layer, but due to rankings and other factors, Su City University was assigned seats at the back of the first layer.

Honestly, these seats weren’t that great; they were too far from the field, and the details of the central area could only be seen clearly on the large screen at the event.

By this time, the stands were practically filled, but due to the presence of the Star Spirits, there wasn’t any loud noise. Everyone was closely experiencing this beautiful scene, a shock not available to those outside the venue.

Soon after taking their seats, the drifting Star Spirits suddenly collectively rose up, looking like a meteor shower falling in reverse, eliciting a wave of sighs from the stands.

In the end, the Star Spirits gathered at the dome of the venue, shimmering like a real sea of stars, and the whole venue became quiet once again.

Boom!

At that moment, two spiraling columns of fire shot down from above, colliding on the ground and bursting into explosive red flames.

In the darkness, the fire flowing from the center of this inferno spread across the entire venue, the slowly moving flames unfolding like a carpet of fire.

But that wasn’t the end of it. When the flowing fire fully opened, a figure gradually emerged from the central flames.

He walked out of the flames, his body covered in writhing fire. A pair of large wings of flame spread out behind him, his hair and beard burning wildly.

The entire venue erupted into waves of shouts upon seeing the defiant figure on the big screen.

"Fire King!"

"Fire King!"

Amidst the roaring crowd, the man known as ’Fire King’ slowly raised his right hand, and the venue became even more frenzied.

"Who is the Fire King?" Shao Zifeng turned and asked Yu Xiaoyu.

Just as Yu Xiaoyu was about to speak, a head suddenly popped up between them, "Captain, captain, I know!"

Hu Shiwu was as excited as a hyperactive dog, "Fire King Li He is a celebrity. He captured a large following a few years ago with his rugged appearance playing the Fire King in the blockbuster ’Flame Monarch: Birth’. He’s skilled with fire element pet beasts and has a ’Bonding Reaction’ with fire, which is why his fans call him the Fire King."

As Hu Shiwu spoke, he never took his eyes off the flamboyant figure, his tone laden with a hint of envy, oh how he wished he were the one receiving the cheers.

Shao Zifeng thought for a moment: "Shouldn’t a professional host be engaged for an event of this caliber, why get a celebrity to chime in?"

"Indeed..."

Hu Shiwu paused slightly, well-versed only in personalities under the spotlight; Shao Zifeng’s question clearly touched upon his area of ignorance.

However, Shao Zifeng suddenly thought of a possibility, his gaze flickering as his slender fingers caressed the prototype’s smooth casing.

It seems the officials have something big planned.

Having a celebrity chime in at a competition of this level is clearly a warm-up for the next step.

The curtain is just beginning to lift, yet it signifies the dawn of a brand new era.
